I was just trying mixmh and noticed a problem in pine. Pine seems
to understand MIME-messages only if header 'MIME-Version:' appears
before any 'Content' headers.
I just tested this, and I am unable to reproduce this problem. Pine does
require that a MIME-Version header be present before it will parse any Content
headers, but it expressly looks in the rest of the header for a MIME-Version
header if it hasn't already found one when it hits the first Content header.
Either this is a bug in Pine, or there is something faulty in the headers that
mixmh generates. No action on the part of the IETF-822 group is called for;
we do not claim that there are or should be any order dependencies in message
headers.
I will continue this discussion on the Pine-specific list.
